Since I have nothing to do, I want to get into this ROM development stuff with my older device, hopefully I will learn something.
My trouble is that I can't build any ROM for that device(Lenovo Yoga B6000-F), because I can't find the device tree for it or anything related...
How can I get it/make it by myself?
BTW, this is a Tablet - Lenovo Yoga 8; B6000-F (WiFi version, there is a 3G one)

You can make it yourself, but you won't find any tutorial how to make device tree, trust me I've been there. Also I see that you have device with mediatek chipset so I doubt you will succed because well "mediatek" however you can build device tree if there is device tree for device with same chipset and there is common tree for mt8125 chipset and then you edit just some part of tree to suit your phone, I've done same thing but never get to bulding rom because anything can be flashed on phone because of some "protection" so I didn't bother.

Uh ok I will do some searches, probably ending by giving up :(... Probably all my next devices won't be this MediaTek stuff...(still don't know why it heats so much)
Btw, where do you find those trees? I can't find any for this chipset...

On github. Device tree's are named "android_device_*manufacturer*_*model*"
Well first look for list of devices using that chipset, and try finding trees for that models, I don't say you will find any but you can try.
